The host inventory

The first file we are going to change is the host inventory file called production; this needs to be updated to be the following:

[droplets][digitalocean:children]droplets[digitalocean:vars]ansible_ssh_user=rootansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsahost_key_checking=Falseansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python

What we have here is an empty host group called droplets, and then we set some global variables for the Droplet we are launching. Don't worry about adding the actual host just yet; we will be adding it during the playbook run.
